I've been following Ryan King's excellent Blender tutorials recently. 3D is still pretty new to me, but I'm excited to properly learn it this year!

Each stage in Parhelia contains 4 acolytes to rescue. Since the game is themed around gods, I decided to have all humans in the game obscure their faces somehow (later ones will wear masks, for example). #gamedev #indiedev #characterdesign #indiegame #visuals #parhelia
